A trip to Fassbender & Rausch would be one of my top tips for anyone visiting Berlin. Of course, on your first visit to the German capital you should see the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), but why not also see them crafted from chocolate. Fassbender […]
Loxx Miniatur Welten Berlin is on the third floor of the Alexa Shopping Centre so I’m not quite sure how its existence had escaped of so long until I read a post about it on überlin but as soon as I found out about it, it went on my to do list. Boasting 4.8km of track, more than […]
I’m not a religious person but I’ve always been drawn to churches and cathedrals for their architecture and character. The Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral) is certainly an impressive sight and one of Berlin’s iconic landmarks. Located as it is on the Museuminsel (Museum Island), the cathedral is guaranteed a high footfall and anyone walking past […]
I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine I have seen in Berlin over the past week to the photo gallery here. This week’s stones were memorials to: Werner Bab (Schönhauser Allee 187); Moritz Wolle (Rosenthaler Strasse 72); Hedwig Hartung (Kastanianallee 29). My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism […]
After a very disappointing trip to the Museum für Kommunikation I needed a pick me up so I went back to Barcomi’s Deli and tried the Devil’s Food Cake. And before you ask, yes it tastes as good as it looks.
I was checking out the What’s On listings on Anglo Info last week and read about ‘Fashion Talks’ at the Museum für Kommunikation (Museum for Communication) in Berlin. Berlin is blessed with a wealth of great museums and I’ve been to quite a few during my three trips but as I hadn’t been to this particular […]
All of the Stolpersteine I saw this week were found within a very small area, not far from Hackescher Markt. I found some of them when I was checking the locations for some previously posted. I have added photos of all of them to the gallery here. Honoured by the stones I saw this week […]
By chance, I spotted a poster whilst out shopping advertising a performance and signing by Ed Sheeran at the Alexa Shopping Mall later in the day. I popped back with my camera to enjoy the music and get a few shots. Sheeran played four songs: Give Me Love; The A Team; Lego House and You […]
Having worked up an appetite walking in the snow I decided that today would be a good day to go back to Barcomi’s Deli. Barcomi’s Deli isn’t the kind of place that is easy to happen upon. It is in a back Hof (courtyard) between Sophienstrasse and Gipsstrasse in the art gallery district of Berlin’s […]
I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine I have seen in Berlin over the past week to the photo gallery here. They were the memorials to: Irma Rosenthal, Karla Rosenthal and Ellen Rosethal outside 12 Neue Schönhauser Strasse; and Judel Laufer, Czarna Laufer, Rita Laufer and Margot Laufer outside 10 Neue Schönhauser Strasse. I have walked […]
